It is exciting to see a province-wide cycling network being developed; this is a long time coming.

I am delighted to learn of the announcement of the Province Wide Cycling Network. We have made a mess of our environment and health and it is good to see positive action towards making our home greener and healthier by promoting cycling routes.

I am avid recreational cyclist who lives in Essex county. I have been cycling here since the early 1980's. I was looking at your proposed route for this county and I have some recommendations.

I would like to add comment regarding the Thunder Bay to the Ontario/ Manitoba border section. The present map shows the route going through Fort Frances on Highway 11 and then on Highway 71 to Kenora.

- I believe it would be good to include the surface type in the mapping as this will help with trip planning.
- Missing cycling route links should also be identified so that these can be targeted for provincial or local funding to complete the routes. -

Just advising of a cycling route that is in development on St. Joseph Island. Thanks.

What a wonderful idea it is to connect the biking trails between cities. I have enjoyed several of these trails and am pleased with the conditions on most of them. I would like to suggest that signage is a bit weak in some of the towns.

Hello, I noticed that the stretch of the greenbelt cycling route from hamilton along ridge road is not part of the primary network. This is a stunning route and provides a great alternative to the waterfront trail, and connects much better with the city of hamilton.

Hi,

I am strongly supporting the new bike paths from kingston to Quebec and Renfrew. I am an avid cyclist and believe that we not only have to support more sustainable means of travel but focus on building tourism in the area.

I Believe its an amazing idea, the map looks great, I feel like this is needed. Thankyou

The basic plan for the Cycling Route is good.

However, it is missing some key routes in the south.

I would argue strongly for a much more direct connection between Barrie and Wasaga Beach.

This is an excellent initiative. Wagg Road in Durham Region, part of the Existing on Road Routes, is in terrible disrepair and is dangerous for cyclists and motorists.

Speeds are much too high on highways for me to feel comfortable riding on a paved shoulder with no physical separation.

Routes should focus on locations that also permit electronic bikes. This will increase participation and be more inclusive for those who may require assistance when cycling. Locations that prohibit e-cyclists should be reviewed for alternative routes.

There are many fantastic routes through Muskoka that could be easily added.

Generally speaking I support the policy and the proposed routes. Cycle tourism indeed needs to be promoted more and catered to.

I have felt the need for cycling lanes for years in my community, we have small roads and horrible drivers that try and drive bikers off the road, I personally was hit two years ago by a girl texting and driving while clearly and inexperienced driver, it almost took my life yet here I am.

Hello, When planning this project, legislation must be passed that forces all roads repaving projects to include a 3 foot wide paved shoulder. Many cycling-car accidents occur because there is not a paved shoulder for the cyclist to travel on. thanks, this is a great initiative
